Hendrik, I would warmly suggest your friend to contact the linux-speakup project: http://linux-speakup.org/ That's a bunch of cool people who have been writing quality software for blind and visually impaired users under GNU/Linux. They also have a quite active mailing-list. In Devuan, we have the minimal-live project which provides a console-based setup focused on accessibility. I know that there are several other distributions specifically tailored around the needs of blind and visually-impaired users.
